i have scrribbledd things since 3rd grade.
i have run through b and w speckled journals, those fabulous 5 buck journals, federal green journals, and those leathher oness onn ebay (blech!).

i went through the Long Ridge Writers’ School, in nonfiction. i was a guest sermon author to the regional newspaper for 6 years, on esoteric subjects.

i attempted “write a book in November” thing, got sick, and well..

i do wish you well. have you tried a fountain pen?
or do you have a refillable pen with many words in it to go?
for fun and awe, look up ‘fountain pen hospital’.
pens can be as costly as a AC Cobra kit car!!

Terry;
Iv'e been journaling my thoughts in those black/ white/ green speckled journals for over 24 years. Started not long after I joined FR in Feb 1998.

LS; Buckley is right, the more you write the better you get.

Journals are great, because when I look back at them I realize how I have grown in many ways. Great for those times when all of a sudden I feel useless or defeated. I look back and realize I may not be where I want to be yet, but I sure in the hell ain't where I was back then in many way.

I get up every morning at 4:30 - 6:30 and start reading my Bible before I allow the World to get into my head. I journal my thoughts that ( my head never stops thinking) cover a wide variety of issues, and today I am a better man for it.(Like most FReepers, my never stops thinking.)

I also started blogging back in 2005, had a few blog, wrote for other here and there, the longest running one was a blogspot, but now have my own official website. Which has helped me become very proficient and fast by typing with 2 fingers. (trfmf.com if interested) Took a break from posting to it as I got closer to completing my book, but now that it's published I'll start posting again.

This was my first book, and I already have three more in the hopper I'm working on. I feared it when I set about to publish one, but now that it's published I'm addicted. It helps that I really enjoy writing.
